O God, Thou hast rejected us
Hast broken us once more
As Thou with us hast angry been
O once again restore
For Thou hast made the earth to quake
Hast torn it fearfully
O heal its gaping cracks, for, lo
It shakes in agony!
For Thou has made the people see
The hardness of distress
And Thou hast made them drink the wine
Of reeling drunkenness
But those that fear Thee Thou didst give
A banner in their sight
That they might rally and be firm
Made strong by truth and right
O grant that Thy beloved ones
May safe delivered be
O save them with Thy strong right hand
And do Thou answer me
